Core Thesis: Social media algorithms function as behavioral neurotoxins with population-level effects comparable to environmental pollutants. Just as lead and microplastics cross biological barriers to cause measurable cognitive harm, algorithmic attention capture crosses psychological barriers to cause measurable psychiatric harm.

Key Argument: If we regulate lead in paint because it damages children's brains, we should regulate infinite scroll because it damages children's brains. The mechanism is different. The outcome is the same. The regulatory response should be equivalent.

Why This Research Matters

Every study, every paper, every framework serves one purpose: defending humanity's right to think clearly. In a world engineered to capture attention, understanding the mechanisms of capture is the first step to building immunity. This research isn't locked behind paywalls. It's open. It's free. It's #FTPโ€”For The People, Always.

Different By Design

One human. Five AI systems. 2,000+ hours. This is what distributed intelligence produces.
